“Jorge and Alejandra were AMZAZING!! I have a very anxious girl (dog) Roo and they made sure she was very comfortable and felt right at home! They were great about sending updates and putting my mind at ease! Roo had a great time and was very tired when she came home! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them! They truly treated her like part of the family and I will be contacting them when needed again!”

“Jason & Becky were wonderful with Juneau. They were very responsive, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout her stay. It’s clear they are experienced dog owners who treated her with kindness and great care. I received frequent updates with photos and videos, along with helpful information about her behavior and daily routine, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you both so much—Juneau is definitely looking forward to coming back!”

“John and Sonia were great. John sent me updates and photos of how Wendy was doing through out her stay with him, and I could see that she was enjoying her time with John and Sonia. I am glad I found him on Rover. I won't hesitate to entrust Wendy under his care.”

“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”

“My Irish doodle Bentley loved staying with Shuyu and Eric! We received frequent updates and lots of pictures while we were away. Would definitely book again and highly recommend :)”

“Our dog stayed with Sush twice — once for a day trip and again for a week. Sush was easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout both stays. Her home and fenced yard gave ABC plenty of room to move around, and the photo updates showed him looking relaxed. Before the stay, Sush arranged a meet‑and‑greet to confirm our dog got along with her dog, Champ. During his visits, our dog spent time around a few additional dogs and appeared calm and at ease. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well‑adjusted after both stays. We’re glad to have found someone nearby who provides a safe and caring space for him.”

“Susan took great care of our dog while we were gone. He is old and blind so she made sure to get out baby gates for him. She also made sure to keep me posted of what was going on with him and genuinely seems to love dogs! Would definitely recommend Susan for short or long-term care!”

“Christine took such good care of my dog. I was an anxious first-time owner, but she sent lots of photos and updates and it clear my dog was being well cared for. Definitely recommend!”


“Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.”


“YJ is absolutely amazing! Oshie has stayed with her multiple times now, and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives. She sends the most adorable photos throughout his stay that always put a smile on my face and give me such peace of mind. YJ truly loves what she does, and it shows in how well she treats Oshie. She's become our go-to sitter because I trust her completely and know Oshie is in the best hands possible!”

About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.
“My dogs are happy to stay at Karen's. She is great at playing with them, walking them, and snuggling them. She is easy to communicate with, and she sends lots of pictures so you know everyone is doing great all the time.”

“Clover came home from Andrew’s house relaxed, calm, and happy after a week-long stay. Andrew is great with communication and is an expert when it comes to dogs. Highly recommend!”

“Kevin and his family is such a great support system for our family and with supporting our dog Dexter. He gives lots of updates and it’s clear our dog is very well cared for.”

“Heather was great with my pups! Professional, thorough, punctual, and most importantly absolutely loving and kind! She updated me daily w the cutest pictures of my pups and made me feel relaxed and comfortable while on vacation. Highly recommend. We will definitely rebook her service as well! Thank you so much Heather for taking care of my dogs as your own!”

“Aly did a great job. Sent a few updates throughout the week and monitored for any issues and checked in with any concerns. First experience with Rover and was pleased! Easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. Would use her again if we need a pet sitter!”

“Ellie took wonderful care of my little Bella. I had such peace of mind knowing that my geriatric dog was being pampered and loved every second that I was away, with lots of photos to prove it. She even made homemade snacks for Bella in line with her preferred diet!”


“To say that Temisha is ‘pet friendly’ is an understatement. We were so pleased and comfortable with our dog in her care. Would give her a 10 out of 5, and look forward to working with her in the future.”

Tom did a wonderful job caring for Jennie while we were away! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a loving family to care for their dog. He took her on energizing walks each morning before it got hot, and and gave her plenty of time to play with other neighborhood dogs, which she loves. Tom shared photos and videos daily of Jennie playing, walking, and feeling very much at home! We will definitely reach out to Tom the next time we need help.

We had a wonderful experience with Sam! Great communication, prompt updates, photos throughout the stay, and excellent care for Chewbacca. Drop-off and pickup were easy, and we appreciated the walks and attention he gave our dog while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely use him again! 🐾
Aly was amazing with Cheeki! I left Cheeki with her for 10 days while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent pictures and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me enjoy my trip knowing Cheeki was doing well. She was incredibly accommodating with some schedule changes on my end and was great about giving Cheeki her medications. She even offered to pick up more food when she noticed I was running low, which was so thoughtful. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Aly was always quick to respond and kept me updated without me having to ask. Most importantly, I felt like Cheeki was genuinely cared for and treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for everything Aly did and would absolutely trust her with Cheeki again. Thank you, Aly!

Thank you for taking such great care of Navy!!! We can tell she had a great time and almost didn’t want to leave! Prisila was willing to dog-sit for us super last minute, sent us updates every day, and was very communicative! We appreciate it and will definitely be coming back! 🩷

BLUF: Book in confidence. Helena and Nathan were great. Their comms were very clear and timely, they definitely know what they are doing in terms of thinking forward about how to give your dog the best experience and to give you peace of mind while they are being boarded there. Both their home and their yard are well-tended - no hazards for dogs like wires, broken boards, etc. They were also flexible in terms of dropoff/pickup times, as well as accommodating reasonable requests for toys, treats, and food options. They also allowed a friend of mine and their dog (who recommended me to Helena and Nathan) to stop by for a short playdate. Great experience and will book again!

Lynne was great with our golden retriever, Carson! We were in need of a last minute sitter and she was absolutely wonderful! Carson had a great time running around her big yard, playing fetch and taking long walks! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Lynne and have her watch our pup again.

Musa and his family took great care of Orion during his stay. We had a meet and greet beforehand, which gave us peace of mind, and I received daily photos and updates while we were away. Orion was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend them and book with them again.

Silas had a wonderful lengthy 9 day stay with Loreen! She was very attentive to all of Silas’ needs and many medications. Her daily updates are unparalleled! Daily videos and pictures really made me feel like I was really kept in the loop on his care. She also has the sweetest kiddos who really enjoyed playing with Si, which is so lovely because Silas loves kids! I would 100% book again and recommend Loreen to anyone looking for exceptional care for their babies!! 🫶
